And this is fundamentally my point here. This is a trivial little story that at most warrants a paragraph in a local newspaper somewhere. Big companies have little spills of random stuff all the time. But since this particular company is the current hot target for Internet rage, its clickbait potential is vast and people are eager to dive in to it for their Two Minutes Hate.
If people really want a meaningful story about Tesla’s bad environmental practices or safety procedures or whatever to get angry about, do a little legwork to find some actually meaningful incident or perhaps some kind of study to determine larger scale patterns. The focus on this particular news item should be embarassing for Tesla opponents. Is this really all that it takes? Or all that they can find?
People can post whatever they want. Communities can be about whatever they want. It just looks pathetic when they post stuff like this as if it was significant news.

I’m going to share an article about a Lemmy user who can’t come to terms with the fact that it isn’t up to them what other users post, next.
I’m just talking shit, your argument is valid and you’re allowed to share your thoughts.
